Incredible book by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, probably the best Spanish writer from nowadays. I read it while I was in Barcelona for a week and I magically happened to walk through the places the book was based in kind of at the same time I was reading it. Important parts of the book happen in the Barrio of El Raval, the Tibidabo, and the Plaza Real and if you know the city it makes you feel like as if you were there at that moment. If you haven’t visited Barcelona, there are a couple of guides which show you where some parts of the book were based. A book which shows a story about books and which guides you in a very magical way through this amazing and beautiful Mediterranean city in the post Spanish Civil War time.
